Howard suddenly coughed, a spasm twitching at the corner of his mouth."Honey, you're reading too much into this. I don't even know who you're talking about.""Is that so?" Talia's smile did not quite reach her eyes. "It wouldn't happen to be some other woman causing trouble, would it?"Howard coughed again, a bit more forcefully. "You've got to trust yourself, babe. No woman out there can steal me away from you.""You better not be lying to me!" Talia pouted, her lips a picture of seduction even as she feigned anger. "Or else, I'll take Riley and we'll disappear from Mendorra, and you'll never find us!""How did I never notice you were the jealous type?" Howard chuckled."Hmph! So what if I am? I like it, and it's none of your business!" Talia snapped back playfully.As they bantered, they reached a private room in the cafe. Talia knocked and pushed the door open.Howard's gaze swept the room, landing on a stunning woman lounging on the sofa, with an older gentleman standing b

Fate sure had a twisted sense of humor."I see!" Talia's smile was radiant as she turned to Howard. "Honey, you two chat. I've got to get back to work. Give me a ring if you need anything.""Sweetheart, why not stay?" Howard's gaze lingered on Talia. He could almost taste the awkwardness filling the room."No, I've got a ton of stuff at the office, and there's a meeting I can't miss." Talia's smile did not waver. "Don't rush on my account. Just call me when you're finished, and we'll head home together.""Okay, then," Howard managed a tight-lipped response."Ms. Cole, take care!" Talia offered Yaretzi a warm smile."Goodbye, Ms. Jenkins, and thanks!" Yaretzi mustered a steady smile in return.Once Talia left, the older man addressed Yaretzi, "Ms. Cole, you chat with Mr. Howard. I'll be just outside if you need me.""Sure!" Yaretzi nodded."Mr. Howard, welcome. Please have a seat!" Yaretzi gestured to the couch with a respectful air once they were alone.Howard settled into th

"I'm just worried that after working with the Yehooda Chamber of Commerce for so long, the Cole family might've accidentally slipped up somewhere along the way, and so..."Yaretzi took another deep breath, searching for the right words to continue."As long as Master Howard can look the other way, the Cole family is ready to make it right. Whatever it takes, as long as it's fair, we're on board."Howard chuckled. "So, the Cole family thinks they can smooth over any problem with cash?"You're putting too much faith in money and not enough in the Shadow Sect. If cash could clear every guilty conscience, we wouldn't need the Shadow Sect, would we?""Master Howard, I... that's not what I'm saying. I..." Yaretzi stammered, her voice tinged with panic.She could not understand why she felt that way. Usually, she was the epitome of confidence, able to hold her own with the bigwigs of Mareno City without batting an eye.That was why the Cole family had her on the ground in Mendorra.Ho

"She's a knockout who came all the way from Mareno City to find you, and you're not even going to treat her to dinner?""Uh..." Howard grimaced slightly. "Honey, it's only our second meeting. We're hardly acquaintances.""Really?" Talia gave Howard a pensive look."Maybe she's just an acquaintance of yours, but it might not be the same for her. I'm a woman too; I can see there's more in her eyes.""You might be overthinking it, honey." Howard offered a light smile."Believe me, my intuition is spot on," Talia said, her smile beaming as she smoothly changed the subject."If I'm not wrong, she's the heiress of the Mareno City Cole family, isn't she? Did she come because of her brother's trouble a few days ago?"Her sharp mind had pieced it together the second she heard he hailed from Mareno City."Yep!" Howard confirmed with a nod."So, what's the Cole family's angle? They are out for blood to defend their golden boy?" Talia probed."Not at all." Howard chuckled, shaking his he

Meanwhile, in a restricted zone in Ciolara, two old-timers were parked in an office—Ezra and his buddy in the plain getup."He's boarded," Ezra said calmly, checking his phone."Yep," the elder in plain clothes agreed. "However, his timing could be better. It's a bit dicey right now.""I'd like to see anyone try to stir up trouble on my watch," Ezra shot back, his voice edged with irritation."Just don't go making things worse for the kid," scolded the elder in plain clothes, giving Ezra the stink eye. "Things tend to escalate when you get involved."After a pause, he asked again, "Who's he got with him?""Yoel, the Shadow Sect's Five Blades, and Quispe," Ezra replied, taking a leisurely sip from his cup."You sure Dragon and his crew aren't going to show up?" the elder in plain clothes pressed on."Can't be certain," Ezra said with a decisive shake of his head, setting his cup down. "If his trip to Ciolara goes off without a hitch, fine. However, if someone's looking to stir u

A sea of 3000 Shadow Sect Elegant Uniformed Troops knelt in unison, their voices thundering in a powerful salute."Stand and let's talk," Howard commanded with a wave of his hand."Thank you, marshal!" they responded, their voices echoing as one.A young man quickly stepped forward from the group, approaching Howard and his companions with a crisp military salute."Elvis of the Ciolara Shadow Sect, at your service, Marshal. Vice-Marshal Louis, and the distinguished district governors!""Is everything set with the vehicles?" Nevaeh inquired.Ciolara was her turf, lying within the northern sector as per the Shadow Sect's territorial divisions. Elvis Warren, her subordinate and the district inspector, was the top dog at the Ciolara Shadow Sect."Everything's ready to roll, ma'am," Elvis assured her with due formality."Sir, where to go first?" Nevaeh asked, turning to Howard."To the Shadow Sect headquarters," Howard decided."Got it," Nevaeh acknowledged with a nod.Within fiv

The carriage filled with the sound of hacking coughs."Shylah, do you always have to go straight for the jugular? Just talking about chopping heads off like it's nothing!"Those were the big shots from the Metro Defense and the Imperial Guards. Sure, they in the Shadow Sect were not exactly shaking in their boots, but if they went slicing and dicing, they could kiss entering the city goodbye!"What's with the overreaction? If you're chicken, I'll handle it solo!" Shylah's icy gaze swept over the four members of The Judge as she spoke with a chill in her voice."Shylah, take a breath. Let's see what our boss has to say first!" Nevaeh's grip on Shylah's hand was firm, trying to prevent a rash beheading spree."Sir, your call, what's the play?" The Judge turned to Howard."Why all the panic? Maybe they just stumbled upon us and stopped to let our caravan pass," Howard said, his voice calm but his eyes betraying a flicker of steel.He knew the score—that was a power play, plain and

Considering what they knew about Master Howard, if they truly incited him to act, they would not stand a chance combined."Move it!"In an instant, the extended SUV was upon them. Monty's eyes narrowed, and he quickly sidestepped a good distance away.The other three, hearing his command, did not second-guess and swiftly cleared to the roadside.The SUV blasted by them in a heartbeat, not even hinting at slowing down. Had they been a fraction slower, they would have been dead.The Shadow Sect's convoy tore past them in hot pursuit.The men left standing roadside gaped, slack-jawed, as the vehicles vanished before them, frozen in disbelief.Could they do that!?"This is insane!" Yerek spun around, watching the SUV fade into the distance, his face stormy enough to rain.The others looked just as sour as if they had each swallowed a bug.They had arrived in force at the crack of dawn, all to avoid missing their window. Then, after all that waiting, the convoy did not even bother

"Sure!" Nevaeh agreed, then went straight to business. "Graham's been off the grid since that mess three years ago. Not a peep from him since."But from what our people have dug up, about a year back, this Fabius Redmann guy shows up on the Calnan family's VIP list."I had my guys look into him, but it's like he's a ghost. Someone's covered his tracks real good.""Is that so?" The Judge perked up, intrigued. "Nevaeh, you're saying this Fabius is actually Graham?""That's right," she confirmed with another nod. "Different face, but it's him. We've checked and double-checked—it's Graham, no doubt about it.""That explains the radio silence from Graham," Quispe said, the pieces falling into place."Nevaeh, Fabius is in Ciolara, isn't he?" Shylah piped up, eager for the next piece of the puzzle."Got it," Nevaeh nodded in acknowledgment."We've confirmed they're one and the same, so I've had someone on his tail at every hour of the day.""I mean, Graham's been a martial god with u

Chapter 350

"Those bastards think they can mess with the Shadow Sect?" Hacks and The Judge both got to their feet."Come on, let's go see what's happening!"Howard's gaze sharpened as he rose and headed for the door, his entourage quickly falling in step behind him.When they reached the courtyard entrance, they found the Shadow Sect's elite guard in a standoff with the Metro Defense and Imperial Guards. Elvis and about a dozen of his troops were visibly wounded, with blood trickling from the corners of their mouths."Metro Defense Monty greets Master Howard!""Metro Defense Chase greets Master Howard!""Imperial Guards Vilmos greets Master Howard!""Imperial Guards Yerek greets Master Howard!"Seeing Howard, the four men bowed deeply, their faces showing a mix of emotions."Greetings, Master Howard!" echoed the Metro Defense, saluting as one behind them."Who started this?" Howard's gaze swept over Monty before he turned to Elvis with a calm detachment."Marshal, Yerek and his men stor
